  • Today I presented a session, in Dutch, titled 'Gebruik Azure Key Vault in je applicaties en zorg dat niemand achter je geheimen komt' during the TechDays 2017 event. The presentation is about using Azure Key Vault to improve security of your solutions. I’m sharing my slides and code, so you can start improving the security of your solutions and deployments using Azure Key Vault, the Azure Key Vault Configuration Provider and Azure Key Vault Storage Account Keys.
  • This will be my second post about Bing for business: “the new intelligent search experience for Office 365 and Microsoft 365, which uses AI and the Microsoft Graph to deliver more relevant search results based on your organizational context”. In this post, we will be focusing on “People Search”.
  • At the Ignite conference keynote Microsoft announced Bing for business. Winvision is one of the partners participating in the current preview. With the public announcement of Bing for business, I’m now allowed to show you what the service is offering our company. In the coming days I will be posting about several parts of Bing for business, starting with “branding”.
  • The other day I wanted to configure Application Logging on Blob Storage for a Web App Service and found out this needs a SAS URL. And this is something an ARM template can’t provide for you. In this post, I will walk you through the necessary PowerShell code to run.
  • When I recently was configuring an Azure AD application, I couldn’t assign the delegated permissions for an Azure SQL Database. It did cost me a full day to find out the Azure Portal user interface has an unexpected user interaction when it comes to selecting APIs. In this post, I’ll explain how you can find all APIs available for your application.
  • Azure Key Vault is a great resource to store your secrets like passwords, connection strings, certificates, etc. and access them programmatically. A great feature is to add or update your secrets during deployment so you do not have to manage your secrets manually. In this article, I will explain how you can add secrets to an Azure Key Vault using ARM templates.
  • When I start on a project that uses Azure resources, one of the first things I do is build the infrastructure and automate the deployment using VSTS or TFS. In this post I‘ll explain how you can extend Azure Web Apps with Virtual Applications and Virtual Directories using ARM templates.
  • The other day I needed to get the URLs for all pages in my blog for some PowerShell scripting I wanted to do. Like most websites, this blog has a sitemap and I wanted to use that as a source. As I couldn’t find any existing PowerShell scripts on the web that I could use, I just wrote one myself. Now I like to share this script with you.
  • Last month I gave my session, in Dutch, titled Serious Request, Azure als schaalbaar platform during the dotNed Saturday event. I’m sharing my slides so you can start building awesome, secure, scalable, performing and monitorable web platforms using Azure.
